Abstract
A battery electrical vehicle or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle includes a battery which may be charged by an electrical charging station coupled to the electric power grid. To maximize the charging efficiency thus decreasing charge time, the voltage and current drawn from the power grid may be closely monitored. Based on the monitoring of the voltage and current of an electrical circuit powering a battery charger, a notification of changing conditions to charging characteristics including electric circuit wiring resistance, power loss or wiring efficiency may be generated.
